JPGFILE: jd_dof.jpg ZIPFILE: jd_dof.zip RENDERER USED: MegaPov 0.6a for Windows TOOLS USED: Paint Shop Pro 6 RENDER TIME: 6 h 46 min HARDWARE USED: Pentium 233MMX, 32MB IMAGE DESCRIPTION: The prisoner dreams of freedom as he watches the birds flying freely under the open sky, but realizes that he'll propably spend rest of his years in the cell. So, the theme of this image is freedom/imprisonment. DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: The image was almost entirely created with POV-Ray, the only exception being the signature, which I added with Paint Shop Pro. The wall is height_field and the bricks are superellipsoids. The "arch" bricks were bended with Chris Colefax's Object Bender include file. The birds were made with a small macro which takes the angles of the wings as parameters and creates a simple bird-shaped object. I added a little motion blur to make them look better. The scattering media filling the cell interacts with the area_light used as the sun, creating an impression of dusty air.
